How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over my personal statement. Read up on the school. Thought at great lenth (and actually wrote out answers) to questions like "why do you want to be a dentist?" "what is your strength/weakness" and "what do you like about/what could be improved in dentistry".

What impressed you positively?

The faculty is great. They function with the premise that they are primarily student advocates. The facility is nice-not fancy-but everything you'd ever need. Tuition is cheap.

What impressed you negatively?

Augusta isn't the nicest place to spend four years, but it's also cheap, not too far from Atlanta, has its own small cultural scene BUT who has time anyway.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I made sure I was well prepared. Others should know that the only thing interviewers have is your personal statement (nothing else). They are, in general, very friendly. Their goal is to be your advocate in front of the admissions committee so prepare to talk honestly about shortcomings (not excuses, but explanations and what you've done to redeem yourself) so they can go back and make a case for you.

What are your general comments?

It was a good experience. I actually had a lot of fun. Be honest and be yourself. People can tell when you're not being sincere. Make sure you have at least one good question prepared to ask each interviewer.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
